...probably not
maybe i shouldve used the normal image instead of deck? i mean i have amd hardware but maybe its not compatible
that is all selinux denying something, what were you doing?
trying to install bazzite
selinux shouldnt get in the way for that
idk i just flashed with fedora media writer then booted to bazzite installer
hold up- is it not compatible with secure boot?
the installer is still bazzites sore point since its all experimental stuff, its essentially a net installer and if you have any issues with it, it is recommended to install fedora silverblue(gnome) or kinoite(kde) and then rebase from that.
secureboot should be supported, but you might have to add the keys after install. i know you have to do that for nvidia images at least
im full amd
cpu and gpu
i keep secure boot off on my system as i do a lot of weird stuff with it that is not secure boot compatible 😂
cool
give me a moment to grab a spare laptop
faceit requires secure boot thats the only reason why i have it on
ah
my laptop which i do use for testing i cant do on my main pc is left at work.
but to my knowledge secure boot should be supported
secure boot off same thing
Solution
use silverblue iso or kinoite iso and then rebase from that
there is hopefully an updated installer coming with fedora 40, as long as it doesnt get pushed to 41 which should help from my understanding, but since it is not available atm there is not much we can do other than use silverblue/kinoite + rebase as a workaround for installer issues
ok thanks
were you going to use the kde or gnome desktop?
kde ofc
yeah so install fedora kinoite then once thats installed run the below command in a terminal depending if you want the desktop or deck image
deck:
rpm-ostree rebase ostree-unverified-registry:ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite-deck:latest
desktop: rpm-ostree rebase ostree-unverified-registry:ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite:latestty
once that is done, reboot and you should be in bazzite
since you rebased from fedora, it is important to rebase again to the signed image once you are booted into bazzite
deck:
rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite-deck:latest
desktop: rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite:latestwait so first i have to rebase to unverified and then signed?
yeah
why
like
because youre rebasing from stock fedora silverblue/kinoite
they do not have our signing keys
yea but i mean why not rebase to signed directly
how would you verify it?
by rebasing to the signed image?
yeah but fedora does not have the ublue signing keys on the system
it cant verify the images
oh well
its like trying to install a package on debian without the package maintainers public key
once that new fedora installer is available we are hoping the install experience will be less buggy since right now it is to my understanding kind of hacked together to work
☠️
i hope so too
i think my flash drive just died
fedora writer gave me 3 errors
but i have like 6/7 more so
same issue with fedora installer
must be a problem with fedora?
wth is happening
so the fedora installer doesnt have the selinux packages and stuff so i cant set it to permissive
well the only thing i know is that it works on virtualbox (kinda) so it must be a problem with my system i guess
so according to what i read it could be a problem with security labels
this must be the problem because i installed pop os before on the same partition
I would make sure you're making all new partitions
Immutable Fedora does not support custom formatting, you'll want automatic partitioning
Upstream thing
oh well i was choosing format ☠️
so i have to delete the partitions and then create new partitions right
there's a delete all option if you just want to redo
ok this time its denying but only relabelto with command "pool"
oh nvm
i think im just gonna scrap the idea of installing bazzite because i cant even install fedora
the anaconda installer is pretty weird, and is my least favorite installer out of all the GUI installers for linux
what is the process you did in the installer?
just a normal custom install, root account enabled and user trevi with "administrator" and no password
custom partitioning is not really supported for atomic fedora systems though, we do not have control over the installer to disable that if you tried to do a custom partitioning
so the only option is to install to the whole drive?
it is the easiest as ostree doesnt really use a traditional layout, think someone have managed to do custom partitioning by replicating the layout but those installs will be unsupported
